The United Nations and other international organizations are bracing for four more years of Donald Trump.
The United Nations and other international organizations are bracing for four more years of Donald Trump, who famously tweeted before becoming president the first time that the 193-member UN was “just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time.”
Gowan expects that Trump won’t view the world body “as a place to transact serious political business but will instead exploit it as a theater to pursue a conservative global social agenda.”Trump also had the U.S. leave the cultural and educational agency UNESCO and the UN-backed Human Rights Council, claiming they were biased against Israel. Biden went back to both before recently opting not to seek a second consecutive term on the council.
“It’s really back to Cold War days,” said John Bolton, a former national security adviser at Trump’s White House., which has stirred instability in the Middle East, and North Korea, which has helped Russia in its war in Ukraine. There's little chance of deals on proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or resolving conflicts involving Russia or China at the council, he said.
The Crisis Group's Gowan said Republicans in Congress are “furious” about UN criticisms of Israeli policies in Gaza and he expects them to urge Trump to"impose severe budget cuts on the UN, and he will do so to satisfy his base.”In Geneva, home to many UN organizations focusing on issues like human rights, migration, telecommunications and weather, some diplomats advise wait-and-see caution and say Trump generally maintained humanitarian aid funding in his first term.
Trump’s second term won't necessarily resemble the first, said Gian Luca Burci, a former WHO legal counsel. “It may be more extreme, but it may be also more strategic because Trump has learned the system he didn’t really know in the first term.” A medieval statue of the Virgin Mary and Child returned to Notre-Dame cathedral on Friday evening, five years after the devastating 2019 fire.The South African government said on Friday it has put together a team including mine rescue experts to come up with a plan to bring to surface illegal miners who remain under a disused gold mine.
